The title compound [systematic name: 5-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indole-2,3-dione], C9H4F3NO3, crystallized with two molecules in the Intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form layers parallel to the ab plane. In addition, π–π stacking interactions are observed with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.721 (1) Å. The near planarity of the two isatin ring systems is illustrated by by the maximum deviations of 0.023 (1) and 0.025 (1) Å for the N atom in each case.

5-(Trifluoromethoxy)isatin was dissolved in water (pH 4). The crystls were grown from a vapour diffusion setup with chloroform at 5 °C in a commercial refrigerator.
Aromatic H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(parent) and with a C—H distance of 0.93 Å. N-bound hydrogen atoms were placed from the σ(I)] were excluded from the refinement.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

5-(Trifluoromethoxy)isatin crystallized in the P21/n spacegroup and with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The use of 5-(trifluormethoxy)isatin forms part of a current study, where water soluble O,O'-donor bidentate ligands are coordinated to the rhenium tricarbonyl core in order to study the reactivity and activation of these potential radiopharmaceutical compounds. Previous studies have shown that the O,O'-bidenate ligands activate the Re(I) core to a great extent and we would like to explore this further (Schutte et al. (2011). The isatin molecule also has a variety of biological activities. It can act as an anticonvulsant agent, it has sedative effects but can also cause anxiety. Palmer et al., 1987; Goldschmidt & Llewellyn, 1950; Wei et al., 2004; Frolova et al., 1988; Akkurt et al., 2006). Due to its diverse pharmacological properties, a lot of interest has been shown in the isatin molecule and its derivatives. All bond lengths and angles compare well to the structure of N-benzylisatin reported by Schutte et al. (2012). Five intermolecular hydrogen interactions are observed in the structure (C—H···O, N—H···O and C—H···F) as well as π-π stacking with a centroid to centroid distance of 3.721 (1) Å. The molecules pack in a head to head fashion in alternating layers with the benzyl ring overlapping with the next molecules' pyrrolidinedione ring and vice versa. The π-π stacking and the packing in the unit cell are illustrated in Figure 2. The planarity of the ring systems, N1—C11—C12—C13—C14—C15—C16—C17—C18 and N2—C21—C22—C23—C24—C25—C26—C27—C28, are illustrated by very small deviations of all the atoms from these planes, with the largest deviations 0.023 (1) Å for N1 and 0.025 (1) for N2 respectively.
